London - 13 September 2011

Advent Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADVS), a leading provider of software and services for the global investment management industry, today unveiled Tamale RMS® 6.0. Tamale RMS® 6.0 includes new tools to help investment firms automate the process of capturing, distributing and searching for investment research data. Simplified, intuitive navigation and enhanced mobile access ensure investment professionals have access to real-time data and research information they need, from the desktop and from the road.

High performing investment managers know that high quality research leads to well-informed investment decisions and better returns for investors. Yet, many firms are encumbered by inefficiencies that hinder their ability to collect, share, access and prioritize the large volume of data investment analysts work tirelessly to produce. Tamale RMS® is the industry’s first research management solution and provides the investment management industry with a comprehensive solution that brings automation and efficiency to the investment research process. Tamale RMS® helps investment professionals remain focused on investment decision making, instead of spending valuable time cataloging and searching for data.

“The volume of information investment managers must consider in order to make critical decisions can be daunting. Their clients count on them to make the most well informed decisions possible, often in very short time-frames,” said Ken Jacobson, Vice President and General Manager, Tamale at Advent Software. “Traditional methods of collecting, saving and sharing research data are no longer enough in today’s dynamic economic climate. With Tamale RMS® 6.0, we have made strides toward making it as easy as possible for firms to capture information from internal and external sources, share information across an organization and access the information they need easily and when and where they need it.”

Tamale RMS® 6.0 will be available in the fourth quarter of 2011 and brings even more power, usability and accessibility to the investment research process.
